To all whom t may concern: u u f Be it known that wve,vJo`HN STRATTON and ERNEST ALEXANDER CLAREMONT, subjects of the King oEngla-nd, residing in Chester county, England, have invented certain new .and usefull Improvements Relating toGlazving-Bars, of Which the Yfollowingis a speciication.

Our invention reference-.to kroof glazing in `which the glass ishelgd vby lead coated steel orother metal glazing bars.

Hitherto it has been thepractice to glazingbars tothe purlins by meansvof i screws passing vthrough holes drilledfthrough the. basesof. the glazingfbars and in some cases to vhold the latter at their. lower eX- tremities in clips fastened to the purlins by screws passingthrough holes inthe bases of the clips'.

.W ith such methodsy oivfastening 'as above described.A moisture may enter at the holes throughwhich the screws pass and reach the steel or other metal core of the bars'lor clips causingrust and deterioration and-ultimate destruction. Y p

f According to lthe present invention We construct a lead coated glazing bar Without any holesjand Without 'any joints or cracks `or crevices inthelead coating through which moisturefcan creep Vand ,Weflxrand hold the g azing'bar'in position at each end by means of clipsV or shoes. n

In vthe accompanying draivings an embodi',

V.ment of our invention is illustrated. f-

ln all the figures the same letters referlto. vsimilar parts. a l Y Y l lFigures l, 2 and 3 are respectivelyfal sidefv elevation, an end elevationvievvedfrom thel innersideand'a plan of the; clip or shoe used at the'lower-endlofftheglazing bar. Figs. 4,5 'and G are respectively a side eleya-` tion, an'endelevationyieWed fromthe outer`V side, and a plan of a bolt hereinafter de-y scribed. Figs. 7 and 8 are respectively an end velevationv viewed fromr the inner' side, and av plan of the shoe used lat the upper end of the glazing bar; Figs. 9 and 10 are rel spectively a sidegelevation, and sectional elevation. of said upper clipor shoe, the section of Fig. lObeing taken onzthe line X-,-Y of lsection of the barr'being `partially cut-away in Fig. 1.2 tojshovv the positonof the base of the barinrelation' to ithe upper clip.

against the bent end as.shoWnin1Figs..-ll and 12, said bent endeXtending upward beyond the vertical-Web A1 of the glazingbar.l

On the bent end-,of the 1'clip or'shoe there is formed a curvedhood-like projection Ff adaptedv t0 fit over said vertical Web A1 of 70" .l Vthe bar and hold it'jinposition.

the bar is 'n iad'efandffitted substantially to :theu upper cap or shoe similarly and consists enable the ba-r to-'bepushedinto. position. The lclip or v shoe located lat the lovverend of v of theba'se B lwithi-rectangularly bent end B1 butno hooded projection Ffis provided. ,InV4 'flieuj thereof h therel is provided v 'ai bolt (seef more particularlyy Figs. bgto 6.) formed Withv a threaded shaftlto lpass through a hole ,B3- V4inthe bent -:endB1 and provided livith a nutv E2 .and a washer@ whereby' Said veen 'Cante attached to the bentjendl The saidbol-t a U shaped .headrE which fits overthe vertical web All .ofthe barend thus-holds it` in position. 'lternatelyfthe' 'U Shapedhead I E maybe heldby passing Va'screvv fromthe outer'` side of the bent end jBf of theclip'ory shoe into'a threadedgsocket .in saidl head Will be readily understood,

Through l,theV ba seMB,C respectively of i' each ofthe clips'gor shoes are. ormedvtvvo or v more holes Gtoreceivescrews Gr.l'to fasten 'themtopthepurlins The clips or-shoes are formed lof ancore. of steel/"or other. suit- Y able-"metal'coated lead throughoutin-v cludng the,k inner partei." theholes G,as

' screws G1 are passed through them there is a clearance between the screw and the sides of the hole. rlhe heads of the screws are supported on washers G2.

rl"he bolt E above referred to and all screws Yand washers are made ot copper or other non-corrosive metal.

rllhe bases or main parts of the shoes, tor

example the upper shoe, can be cut away down the center as at G3 in which case it resembles two parallel strips or tongues asshown in Fig. 8 and the bent end can be cut away atV the corners so that the end is rounded or'semhcircular in shape as shown in .d igs. @and 7. VFurther the base or main part is preferably widened as shown in order that the screw holes G may be positioned at a substantial distance from the bar 'and to render the attachment ot' the clip more secure.

lt is 'practicable to nialre'the base or main part C oi the upper lshoe considerably shorterthan that B of the lower shoe, since it has to take less strain and need not be so firmly attached to the purlin and further it may be desirable to provide the base or main part of said lower shoe with lateral up bent flangesv D to prevent the bar from moving laterally.v

W ith a glazing bar constructed and iixed as above described the whole of the' steel or other corrosive metal or" which the core isV formed is completely .coated with lead without any crevices or cracks or holes through which water can reach it and in the,v drawings the outlines of 'the steel or other metal core orfoundation andot the lead coating respectively are shown'by broken' and continuous lines respectively,

Yln the application otlr our yinvention we proceed as tollowsz-rllhe lower and upper shoes are lirsthXed to the purlms as shown in Fig. ll the screws G1 t' the no 3er shoe being left loose to" permit ot it being tilted on its beveled base C2 slightlyto enable the bar to be passedunder the'hoodfl?.r the bar is placed in position thev bolt E is passed through the hole B3 provided in the bent end B1 oit the lower shoe and secured in position with the washer and. nut E2.

lWhatwre claim as our invention and de- After sire to secure by Letters Patent ot the United States is yl. The combination with a lead coated glazing bar oi' lead coated clips or shoes adapted to support the upper and lower ends of said bar, each ot said clips comprising a base or main member on which said bar rests, and an `angularly disposed member against which an end of the bar abuts, ay detachable bolt on one of said clips having a hood shaped end, andan integral hood shaped member on the other ot said clips, the bolt and hood shaped member being Ladapted to embrace the upper part ot the glazing bar.

2.- A clip or shoe tor use with glazing bars comprising a base member, an end member disposed angularly thereto and a bolt having a hood shaped end in detachable relation to said end member.

3. A clip -or shoe for use with glazing bars comprising a base member, an end member disposed in angular relation thereto, a bolt in detachable relation to'said end member and having a. hood Vshaped end extending over said base member', and upwardly eX- tending lateral flanges on said base-member.

il-. The combination. with a lead-coated glazing bar, of a clip or chute adapted to support an end of said bar,v said clip or chute consisting o1"- avbase or main member comprising two wings between which said bar rests, the lower tace ot one of said wings being beveled laterally, an angularly disposed member against which the end of the bar abuts, and means on said angularly disposed member for embracing the upper part of the bar. n Y

A clip or lchute-tor use with glazing bars comprising a base member interrupted i to provide two wingsbetw'een which the bar is received,fthe lower surface ot one of said wings being beveled laterally, anV end member disposed in angular relation to said base member, and al hood formed integral with said end member and disposed angularly thereto.
